Passing by the cemetery on the last 3/4 of a mile to Pittston yard. The SD50-2’s 5018 & 5019 and T-1 2102 approach a line of cars of railfans as they approach the crossing. Eventually after this was taken, the rambles would meet YJPI Freight job heading for Taylor.

RBMN 5018 leads a short NRFF through a downpour coming off the curve towards McAlpine Street

Back in the Reading days during Iron Horse Rambles. Some areas where T-1’s can’t get to, Diesels will be added for additional assist. June 22nd seen that day. From Penobscot to Pittston, it’s too dangerous for 2102 to make the 2.2% grade decent for the engine solo. So for safety, RBMN brought 5018 & 5019 to assist the 18 miles downhill to prevent risk of burning brake shoes and with a 20 mph restriction.
